I watched a bunch of YouTube videos on how to apply individual lashes at home and keep them for weeks (I know it’s bad for your eyes, but what, I want to try). I am new to this whole world because I have never had any extensions or false eyelashes. I am wondering if I can use lash tape glue or which is the best that holds up to weeks!
Please donât do that… if you want them to last weeks, just go get lash extensions. You should always take all makeup off at the end of the day for a lot of reasons (skin health being the biggest), but you can actually hurt your eyes if you try to keep individual lashes on overnight. Scratched corneas are no joke and the hospital bill will not be worth the possible convenience of not having to take lashes off and put them back on.
Tl;dr just get extensions, or take off your lashes daily
Eye infections are so not worth this.
Prob the dumbest YouTube suggestion regarding eye makeup.
I wouldn’t do this. I know you know it’s bad for your eyes but it’s not “whatevs”.
Seriously, I once had a close friend who had a corneal abrasion due to eyelashes and it was a horrible experience for her… And they weren’t even falsies. It was from natural eyelashes falling into her eyes. I can only imagine what fake ones would and what kind of super strength glue you’d have to have for this.

You could actually go blind doing âwhatevsâ with your eyes or damage the color permanently of the iris or globe. I would not think itâs worth it but people will do it anyway. Please just buy magnetic lashes or go get them professionally done. You donât want vanity to make you blind.
